Hooked vs Moonshot

Same developer, two browser games. Hooked weighs fish. Moonshot climbs a ladder from Common to Blue Moon. Each has a five-dollar pass with a different name.

The Hooked about page calls the author the maker of Moonshot. The Moonshot home page carries a card back to hookeddailygame.com. That cross-link is why this comparison exists. It is not a guess from a similar color palette.

Hooked's day is five hidden categories at 30 seconds, fish from about 1 lb to about 10 lb, and a fifth round that doubles. Moonshot's public home describes its own daily structure and a score ladder that runs from Common at 5 to Blue Moon at 100. I am not going to restate Moonshot's categories as if they were fishing categories. They are a different board.

Both sell a one-time five-dollar pass. Hooked calls it Hooked Pass and uses it for extra rounds, crew, duels, and the archive. Moonshot calls it Flight Pass. Buying one does not, on either public page, unlock the other. She Code Africa is mentioned on the Moonshot site as part of that game's own story. I leave it on Moonshot's side of the table.

Play Hooked when you want the dock and the weighted trivia. Play Moonshot when you want the other daily from the same person. The sessions are short enough to do both. They are not two themes of one save file.
